Life throws a bomb
Sunday, January 22nd, 2012I’m not going to go into details here, because what’s happening right now is too personal to share. I just wanted to let my friends here in blogland know that I’m going to be absent for a while. I may still skim blogs on the walk to/from work, maybe leaving the odd message, and I’ll [...]
Colour games
Thursday, January 12th, 2012Thanks everyone for your input. Derelict daughter brought in four votes, midnight had three and bramble got two. The basic feedback was all the colours rock. Yes, yes, they do, that’s why they were in the list to choose from I thought about it, and yo-yo’d back and forth then I finally put some logic [...]
But what colour?
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012Ok, so a few years ago I started knitting because I was seduced by lace knitting and wanted to do that. Fast forward a little, after getting bored with the easy projects I was knitting to ease in, and after moving to the UK and being exposed to Heirloom Knitting (somehow), I jumped in and [...]
Dog done
Monday, January 9th, 2012Could be better, could be worse, but he’s done. And will be delivered tomorrow. I hope the little two year old boy, who’s favourite colour is blue, likes him.
Country Path
Sunday, January 8th, 2012Back to working on my Get a life quilt. Just the one block this week, Country Path. The photo’s not the best, it’s difficult to get the colours showing in artificial light, but I wanted to post this tonight. Back to work tomorrow
Half finished
Saturday, January 7th, 2012I had a plan this year to try to start to read more. Not heaps, just start making my way through the list of fantasy novels I have that I want to read. But it seems I forgot why I had to ration these in the first place. I have obsessive reading disorder. Start a [...]
First finish for 2012
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012I finished my xmas socks on New Year’s day. Well, all except grafting the toe closed, which sat around waiting until yesterday. But here you have them, my first pair of socks and my first finish of the year. I wasn’t in the mood for sewing together my cardi (well either of them or my [...]
Frustrating
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012So I’ve tried two different patterns to make softies and I still don’t have anything to show. I prefer to sew by hand, but of course making softies is more of a machine sewing thing. Which I’m not that good with. Combine that with vague instructions, then stabbing myself with a pin resulting in blood [...]
Reflecting on 2011
Sunday, January 1st, 2012The first of the year, so time to look back on the last year. It started off great with a visit from friends from Australia. Then on the night they flew home, I flew to Iceland for 2.5 days. Unfortunately after that, work took over. But in August I decided to claw my life back. [...]
Build your own fabric bundle
Friday, December 30th, 2011On Boxing Day, Laura at Quokka Quilts set us the challenge to build our own cordinating fabric bundle from all the fabric available at the fat quarter shop. You can read about it here. Well, this was fun. Especially as I’ve had an idea in my head to do a quilt in a limited colour [...]
